Another British import is coming to the small screen, and this one stars William H. Macy.

"Shameless" is inspired by executive producer Paul Abbott's ("State of Play")life growing up in a working-class family with 10 children. The U.S. version, which is also executive produced by John Wells ("ER"), follows the Gallagher family in Chicago as they try to survive in today's recession.
